Emotion drips off his brush, filling his work with life and energy. From his breakthrough hit, Baker Street, to the pulp noir Sandman Mystery Theater, to his current work on the Hellboy spin-off series, B.P.R.D., Davis has shown time and again that he is one of the best in the business.

This book features a career-spanning interview with the artist, a discussion of his creative process, and reams of rare and unseen art, including a large gallery of commissioned pieces, and eight pages of full-color work.
